Iggy:

Well, technically, his mother's blood also "dwells" in Dudley.  Also, part
of the protection may extend to Petunia... If she's killed, Harry may be
harmed...

Petunia's death itself would bring harm to Harry... since it would remove
the protection.

Harry's protection may extend ( to a point) to Petunia because it prevents
harm to Harry...
